Oceans (Oceans Eleven Prequel Starring Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling)

Exclusive: Barbie and Ken Will Reunite as Danny and Debbie Ocean’s Parents in New Heist Movie from the Director of the “Austin Powers” Movies

UPDATED A couple of months ago it was revealed that “Austin Powers” director Jay Roach was going to make an “Ocean’s 11” prequel. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling — Barbie and Ken — would reunite for the heist movie.

Now I can tell you exclusively that the title of the planned film is “Oceans.” That’s because Gosling and Robbie will play the parents of Danny Ocean, the character played by George Clooney in Ocean’s 11, 12, and 13.

The Oceans (I don’t know their first names) will teach son Danny and daughter Debbie (Sandra Bullock) how to steal from the rich in this new caper. The Oceans will have a team to help them, of course.

The new movie will be set in the 60s, which is ironic since the original “Ocean’s 11” with Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, et al was released in 1960.

My sources say “Oceans” will set up the more modern “Ocean’s 11” trilogy, not to mention “Ocean’s 8” which starred Bullock and a team of women. (There’s still no “Ocean’s 9,” but who knows!) No word on who’s going to write the new film, but David Levien and Brian Koppelman would be excellent candidates after doing such a good job with “Ocean’s 13.”

The whole idea for “Oceans” comes from the great chemistry between Robbie and Gosling in “Barbie.” And while there is no “Barbie” sequel yet, I am assured that one is inevitable once director Greta Gerwig makes her “Chronicles of Narnia” film. We can count on it.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. threw a swanky party last night for “Barbie’ in Hollywood at the rooftop restaurant of the Pendry Hotel. Guests of honor included Gerwig, co-writer (and husband) Noah Baumbach, stars Gosling and Robbie, plus singer Billie Eilish, her brother and co-writer Finneas, and soundtrack producer Mark Ronson.

Gerwig — I think — will be finally get a DGA nomination and or an Oscar nomination for directing after her extraordinary work on “Ladybird” and “Little Women.” The “Barbie” movie is a director’s film with a specific vision completed realized. “Barbie” is almost certainly headed to a Best Picture nomination, as well.

I asked Greta what her kids — who are 4 and 1 — think of mom as a moviemaker.

She said: “Harold, my 4 year old, said when Barbie was over, Is that it? Like, ‘you’re done with this filmmaking now, right?’ Little does he know!”

Meh

[Mikezilla3k]

Not surprised WB is fast-tracking this after the success of Barbie.

[RCRochester]

Sounds interesting, I love heist movies and having it set in the 60s will be fun if it evokes memories of some of those classic caper films of that decade.

[drb999]

Seeing Robbie and Gosling in 60’s clothes sounds like a treat. I liked them together in Barbie and seeing them together again makes me interested in this.

[Cremildo]

This doesn't interest me at all for now. If the trailer is a banger, I might change my mind.

[unberechenbar]

I'm looking forward to this.

I'm still not sure why we didn't get Oceans 9 and 10 with the female cast. 8 did decent at the box office.

8 is a lot of fun, would've loved sequels with that cast

I also love Robbie and Gosling so this new one sounds great to me

Sandra Bullock won’t sign on for sequels unless the script is elaborately excellent and she is rumored to have shot down every idea the studio has had for a sequel so far.

I wish they would call up Julia, have her reprise the role of Tess and have her run the new gang of women to pull heists off.

Oceans Minus One?

After some of the stuff Bullock has starred in over the years, this is baffling, but fair enough.

Speed 2 and Miss Congeniality 2 scared her off that much, huh lol

Jim Carrey was the same after Ace Ventura 2, but then changed his stance in recent years.

[HD Canuck]

Just clone the Rat Pack and continue the original movie.

this is a terrible idea, who ask for this

[drb999]

Who asks for movies and where do I go to do that?

You damn right, Gosling wearing the wig and all

[Diesel]

I’ll watch it, but why not just give them their own heist movie? Does it really need to be tied into these films?

Oh well, maybe we can FINALLY get the original three on 4K with this.
